  1. BSDs should develop a truly free CVS equivalent by Brett+Glass · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    It is ironic that while CVSup is licensed under a BSD-like license, CVS itself is licensed under the GPL. This places the BSDs -- which themselves are licensed under a truly free license -- in thrall to a product that is GPLed.

    What should the BSDs do to avoid becoming dependent upon software which is licensed in a way that is contrary to their underlying philosophy -- to wit, that free software should be truly free for anyone to use in the way that benefits him or her most?
